Iron bacteria is an item that can be harvested from iron stromatolites and produced or cultivated in biochambers. It spoils rather quickly, rotting into iron ore on spoilage. It is the only method of obtaining iron natively on Gleba, and bacteria cannot be produced on other planets.

Productivity outputs for bacteria cultivation give 4 bacteria rather than the usual net gain used by catalytic recipes. This means that if you set a stack inserter's hand size to 4 (and filter it on just bacteria), it will make full stacks of bacteria without getting stuck holding items.
